I was boiling up a mega stone in the gem cauldron, and I of course bought an odd incense so that I'd have extra time, but the page took forever to load and the timer had started before the actual minigame was playable. This itself would have been fine, as I had enough time to finish the minigame... or i would have, if after getting the first third of the gems into the cauldron, the gem in the center of the cauldron didn't start to only register inputs as "the wrong gem" every time I clicked the right gem. I took a screenshot, and if needed I can try to find a way to leave it here all fancy-like with that BBC code I could never get the hang of, but I looked over it after having repeatedly clicked the correct gem (and taken my time down by at least 50 seconds in penalties) and I can definitely confirm I was clicking on the displayed gem. I think my gem count is lower than before, too, which is what hits the hardest, since I used a couple of dragon and fairy gems and their count was really low to start with, though it could just be my mind playing tricks on me if the cauldron doesn't destroy gems on a failure.
Sorry if there's already a thread for this, I used the search function and looked back at least a year and didn't ind anything that answered why this happened.
